Another product from apple that shows that apple have ran out of ideas.
Nothing innovative here. Tell me of one great innovation since Jobs left us far too prematurely. Boy, do I miss Jobs. RIP.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50888f8aeab8eae917000020joWed, 24 Oct 2012 21:02:02 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50888f8aeab8eae917000020
This is almost true, but unfortunately...its not. Apple lost the opportunity to really take that share occupied by google and amazon. good luck next time. 299$ would be the perfect price, anyone sees this. sorry, nothing to see here. carry on.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508841a7eab8ea1f6b000004Patrick MorkWed, 24 Oct 2012 15:29:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508841a7eab8ea1f6b000004
This article assumes Google doesn't really evolve its strategy around hardware. That's a bit naive to be honest. More on 10.29
I think the more important issue here is why Apple's Schiller spent 10 minutes attacking Nexus 7 if it's not a threat to them. This is a classic marketing / PR mistake. A category leader should never recognize there next closest competitor much less draw a side by side comparison. Jobs must be rolling over in his grave. I haven't seen a mistake like this since Coke introduced New Coke in 1985
Apple blinked ;)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087f9606bb3f7b740000014MuchNoWed, 24 Oct 2012 10:21:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087f9606bb3f7b740000014
Since Apple launched the iPhone and iTunes, they drew in the American consumer to use their ecosystem. When they launched the iPad, they locked-in those consumers. In each case, they had first mover advantage (touch-screen smartphone, central library in the Cloud, tablet).
Google and Android gadgets were developed after each of these innovations. Google and other vendor's Android gadgets now set the standard in innovation. With iTunes being essential to iPhone and iPad use and being so US-centric, Google and Android are leading - particularly in the smartphone and small-form factor tablet space - in sales of devices in the rest-of-the-world.
As was the case with GSM mobile telephony (versus the US-adopted CDMA and PCS standards) which is now the leading mobile telephony technology in the world, some time in the near future Google and Android devices will have significant market share in the US market. By then, Apple will have made so much money that they won't be able to stop making money as their market share shrinks because their ecosystem will be firmly entrenched in consumer-America; they'll just make it (money) at a slower pace.
As time is the only significant factor here, the comparison of the iPad Mini versus the Android small-form factor tablets is moot. To me, the iPad Mini is merely an aspirational product that Apple has made to distract from its competition and further lock-in its consumers. It doesn't compare to other small-form factor tablets, only to it's own (larger-form factor iPad) sister tablets, from which - by the way - it will cannibalise sales.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087c086ecad044573000034MorganWed, 24 Oct 2012 06:18:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087c086ecad044573000034
Recently, I needed an SD card for a camera. I went to a local Wal-Mart. There on display, sat the Nexus 7. Total number of Wal-Mart customers a week, 100,000,000. How's that for foot traffic? Total annual sales, $408 BILLION. Percentage of Americans that live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart 90%. I think availability is negligible.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50875ff76bb3f76d16000011lukmanleongTue, 23 Oct 2012 23:26:47 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50875ff76bb3f76d16000011
ipad 3 or 4 themself will be the ipad mini competitors in term of price.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508741776bb3f71461000019GeorgeTue, 23 Oct 2012 21:16:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508741776bb3f71461000019
ios is boring, and probably when you'll see mini iPad and nexus 7 together you'll easily recognize which is the besthttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087375e69beddaa6b00001eGeekTue, 23 Oct 2012 20:33:34 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087375e69beddaa6b00001e
Mini I-Pad is going to crush the others? Nopehttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087169eecad045c36000003tim hobbes supporterTue, 23 Oct 2012 18:13:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087169eecad045c36000003
Android 4.0 is more modern and doesn't use the same Palm Pilot metaphors from 15 years ago, like iOS. It is cleaner and more minimalist, has a lot more advanced multi-tasking (two apps dividing the screen, anyone?), live widgets and a more intuitive experience.
Nexus 7 has a better size. You can hold it with one hand. It also has a better screen resolution and price. Besides, it has Chrome, Google Now and Google Maps.
What matters for consumers in the end is the price. But the I-Pad Mini will be available for sale in a lot more places, so it is obvious that it will sell more. But if we put the two side by side and the consumer gets the Nexus.
No-brainer.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508713a36bb3f7ea0e000007vinmanetTue, 23 Oct 2012 18:01:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508713a36bb3f7ea0e000007
It's as easy to buy an Nexus 7 as an Pad mini- (fact)- Going to apple.com or Google's Play store takes the same skillset to say otherwise is irrational, also Nexus is sold in Walmart- the biggest chain store in the world!!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50870d856bb3f74008000003Android Defender Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:35:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50870d856bb3f74008000003
What a stupid article. Amazon's OS is basically Android. Based on this fact alone, I deem this article null. Ipads are beautiful devices, I give Apple credit. Their OS is nicely put together an seamless. But better technology then Android? I think not. Especially with Android 4.1 Google is on Apple's rear. All it takes to make a app "tablet optimized" is a few hours of coding, maybe less. The Nexus 7 is just beautiful and such a pleasure to use. The widgets on the home screen is enough to keep me Android. I don't have to poke and flick in an out of apps just to get my content that is need. Google just has 2 main problems in my opinion. They haven't created beautiful hardware and haven't branded all their services and products into one name like Apple does. If they did they would destroy Apple.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087093a6bb3f7d97b000019Jackster Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:16:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087093a6bb3f7d97b000019
I see it doesn't take much to publish an article on here.
This is a joke, right?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508706baeab8ea942a000002Paul VernonTue, 23 Oct 2012 17:06:02 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508706baeab8ea942a000002
I think alot of people were on the fence waiting for the Mini to be announced before deciding between Amazon vs Apple. These people will surely choose Amazon with a $329 price tag for the mini.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508701a26bb3f7cb6e000004nTue, 23 Oct 2012 16:44:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508701a26bb3f7cb6e000004
Apple fans will buy it, but will want the bigger brother.
Android fans won't buy it because of a million reasons that everyone here knows.
Undecided shoppers will choose the small one for price/the kids With this in mind they might prefer the cheaper option, so long as it's fancy. Which it is.
It looks nice, but I think we have good options elsewhere too.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087011669bedddf67000020EverNoticeThatTue, 23 Oct 2012 16:41:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5087011669bedddf67000020
People don't want Tablets, they want iPads...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508700e16bb3f7a96c000018GuyTue, 23 Oct 2012 16:41:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/508700e16bb3f7a96c000018
Apple's IOS is superior. This is coming from someone who have used nothing but Android phones.
